BBQ Bacon & Cheese Fudburger

Hello yumminess! Is that a word? This recipe comes from an issue of the "Puck Fudder" that I was browsing through at Fudpucker's Restaurant a couple of years ago while at the beach. This burger is so delicious, definitely the best I've ever made at home. The BBQ sauce and bacon add a special touch to the burger, but what really makes it special is the basting sauce. Everyone in my family polished off their burgers in no time...even my almost 2 year old! I halved this recipe and it made 4 burgers. Also, I used regular salt and pepper and our favorite BBQ sauce since I didn't have the Fudpuckers brand. I served these burgers with grilled corn on the cob and guacamole with tortilla chips.

What You'll Need:

(Burger Mix)

2 pounds ground chuck
2 Tbsp. onions, finely diced

1/2 Tbsp. fresh garlic, finely diced
1 tsp. fresh ground pepper
2 tsp. fresh ground sea salt

(Basting Sauce)

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup worcestershire sauce

2 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. granulated garlic

What You'll Do:

Combine burger mix ingredients in bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Combine basting sauce ingredients in bowl, mix thoroughly and set aside.

Pre-heat chargrill on high until very hot as you'll want to sear in the flavors as quickly as possible. Remove the burger mix from refrigerator and form into patties.

Place patties on pre-heated chargrill. (Do not press with spatula as this will dry them out and cause them to stick.)

Cook burgers for approximately 2 1/2 minutes and then brush with basting sauce. Flip burgers over, brush with basting sauce and cook for another 2 1/2 minutes or until done to your satisfaction. Remove from grill and garnish with cheddar cheese, bacon, Crazy Mother Pucker's Original Formula BBQ Sauce and other accompaniments of your choice.
